Fondue in Paris

It was one of those rare Saturday nights when both of the girls were sleeping over at friends' houses.  Kevin and I decided that it was too good an opportunity to miss, so we headed to our favorite fondue place in Paris. Le Brasier is in the 17th arrondissement.  They have another restaurant in the 19th, but we've never been to that one.  It was raining a little, and just a touch too cool to sit outside (for us at least - some people showed up later who didn't seem to mind).  The tables all have grills built in, so you cook your food right there.  It's kind of funny to pay someone when you're cooking the food yourself, but it's so yummy and always a fun experience.  We definitely didn't have room for dessert...even just the meal had me so stuffed I could hardly breathe (that may be partly from the baby, but I did eat a lot of bread and cheese). We'll have to go back again soon, but now I'm craving Mexican, so that will have to come first!

Kevin learned quickly that you should always order the big beer in France, because the waiter will never come back to see if you want another one!

We shared a salad first (aren't we healthy?)...it has blue cheese and ground walnuts and is very tasty!

The raw meat is presented in a very pretty way. Then it's up to you to add seasonings and put it on the grill.

Kevin added herbs from Provence, along with salt and pepper.

We share the cheese fondue (served with bread) and the steak. Best of both worlds.

The three sauces that they give you are great with the steak and with the potatoes. I like the one on the right (but I have no idea what it is)!

    Moving from America to France with two preteen girls, two dogs and a cat was an incredible adventure. After four years living just outside of Paris, the Family McLean headed back to the U.S. (minus the cat, but with a new baby boy). Four years later, we're leaving Raleigh, NC, and heading to Egypt (with another little boy in tow...)
